Great Attorney and staff

My experience with Mary Beth and Mr. Dunn was a positive one. I appreciate all they did to represent me during my divorce. They made a very difficult time in my life a little easier. I was treated with respect and kindness. I also appreciate that they waived the remainder of the bill. I would not hes...itate to recommend then to anyone in need.

Excellent Lawyer for those who need their hand held

Mr Dunn is a GREAT attorney. He is patient and very straight forward. I went in and had an unachievable goal for my custody case and he stopped me and told me exactly what I should be asking for and explained WHY. He didn't treat me like I was dumb or ridiculous, just that my idea was not rational.... He got me exactly what he told me he would. The minute you meet him you respect him. His paralegal Dina is also extremely helpful. She doesn't have the same way with words as Mr Dunn but she does her job and does it right. (Sorry Dina if you read this) There are several other people who answer the phone and greet you at the office who are also pleasant and sweet. I know my case was by far not their biggest financially, but they treated me like it was. I hope I never have to see Mr Dunn again, but if I do I hope he is still available.

Mr. Dunn is exceptional and a positive light in my dark legal times

I finally got to entering my review of my experience with Mr. Dunn. Divorce is never fun, so I have taken time to separate myself from the experience before writing my thoughts. In summary, if you are going to hire a lawyer, then you won't go wrong by hiring Mr. Dunn and, i will guess, you wont fin...d a better one. My first experience with Mr. Dunn was when he represented my now wife in her divorce. She faced alot of intimidation and bullying as she started her divorce from her ex and his cult-like family. Jeff helped to steady her and, through his knowledge and expertise and personality, helped her to gain confidence and strength in this process. It was enjoyable to observe him work against the other party and she reports that his courtroom demeanor is steady and confident. My second experience was in my postdecree case against my ex-wife for cohabitation. His approach of confidence and knowledge helped me to have my maintenance payments stopped. She and her party wanted to settle instead of court, so I missed out on watching him in action. Im not sure that the above words do justice to his abilities. Its not likely you will find a more knowledgable attorney. If he doesnt know it, he will tell you and seeek the answer. He is a straight shooter; if you dont want that approach then you should seek another attorney, or better yet, change your own approach His personality is friendly and welcoming - we all want that. He is confident - also a must - and dont confuse it with cockiness, thats not him I have since sent a best friend to Jeff and he, who is better prepared and knowledgable than myself, is very satisfied at this time with the service Jeff is providing him in his postdecree issues. Bottom line, both myself and my wife will continue to have Mr. Dunn represent us as we, for certain, deal with postdecree issues and our ex-spouses.

divorce/child custody

Jeff Dunn was my attorney through my divorce and child custody case. As anyone, I was very nervous about getting an attorney, but Jeff was honest and up front and stayed true the whole time during my case. He never led me to believe he was going to do something that was impossible or far fetched, nor... did he ever make me think he was just wanting my money. He was there for me when I needed him to be. He got me everything I NEEDED during the whole process, including sole custody of my son. He is a great attorney and I have recommended him to many people.
